People Looking Out for People

RECEIVED Thu., Oct. 2, 2008

Dear Editor,
    My name is Betty Johnson, and I live in Pasadena, Texas, with my mom who has Alzheimer's. When the hurricane was on its way, I wasn't quite sure where to go. Then I called a friend of my mom's she hasn't seen in years. George and Mary Larson own Camp Pedernales in Spicewood, Texas, and didn't hesitate to tell us to stay at one of the cabins they normally rent. A few of my friends went, too; there were five of us in their cabin. The cabin next to us also had evacuees. They let as many people that needed a place to stay come to their camp. We had no electricity and stayed more than two weeks. Jim, the manager, was great also. He was like a book of information when we needed anything. He was eating at Lee's and mentioned we were there, and Lee's Cafe told us to come and get food. We were given organic fruits and veggies that were wonderful. I appreciate their kindness so much and would like to publicly thank them in some way, and this is the only way I can think of.
Thank you so much,
Betty Johnson
